Uni Lions (18-25) at Fubon Guardians (16-22)
Friday, June 19th, 6:35 AM EDT
Projected starters
LHP Ryan Feierabend (2-3, 4.41 ERA) vs RHP Henry Sosa (4-2, 4.13 ERA)
Game Preview
The Lions have been on the rise of late, winning five of their last seven games, but an extended run of poor form in most of May and early June means they're still in last place. They keep getting closer to the third-place Guardians, however, and will have a great chance to climb into that spot with a strong performance in this upcoming three-game series. The Guardians can't be too confident right now, as they've lost six of their last seven and are coming off a 15-1 loss to the Brothers in their most recent game. The Lions will send lefty Ryan Feierabend to the mound, while the Guardians will counter with their best pitcher, Henry Sosa. Both hurlers have sub-5.00 ERAs this season, which is pretty solid considering the hitter-friendly environment of the CPBL.

Top picks:
Lin An-Ko, Lions: Lin only connected on one hit during Thursday's win over the Monkeys, but it was a big hit as he went yard with a three-run homer. The star outfielder is hitting .327 with 10 homers and 38 RBI, making a strong captain option in most Lions games.
Su Chih-Chieh, Lions: Su is coming off an impressive performance Thursday against the Monkeys, as he went 3-for-3 with two home runs and five RBI. The slugging outfielder has homered 16 times this season (four more than anyone else in the league) while hitting .324.
Ryan Feierabend, Lions: Feierabend could be a popular choice for owners looking to assemble a Lions-based lineup, although he is not listed in the team below due to budget constraints. The lefty has allowed nine runs in three starts against the Guardians this season.
Henry Sosa, Guardians: Sosa has posted four consecutive quality starts, and if anyone can turn around the Guardians' recent poor stretch and lead the hosts to victory, it's probably him. He tossed six scoreless innings in his previous start and enters this game with a solid 4.13 ERA.
Captaincy Options
1. Lin An-Ko
2. Su Chih-Chieh
